@@derrickgreen9020 yes it's a great plane, wish I could get a spare but none around these days. When my local model shop was closing down they had one for sale in the box, should of had it off them.
That's terrific! Great model, very nicely finished. I love blue and yellow together. I used to cover most of my planes in either blue and yellow tissue, nylon or Solarfilm because the colours showed up so well against the typical grey skies and black, green, purple and brown storm clouds of an English summer's day. My homemade aerial photography kites were all in yellow and blue (ripstop polyester), too. Sadly, such a choice of colours is now seen as being an overt political statement. Sigh. Well, I can't afford Solarfilm or its equivalents any more, so all my current models are done in thin laminating film with a few day-glo pink, orange or green patches to aid visibility and orientation. Laminating film's good stuff: ridiculously cheap, tough, and easy to apply. It's also colourless, so there's no danger of drawing the attention of any passing military combat jets, attack helicopters, tank drivers or missile-launcher operators. Hey, I'm based in West Yorkshire; it could happen...🤭
Hi thanks for your comments, Yes some colours work better than others i guess, i have not had any military interest in my planes yet,lol This plane does come pre-covered like that as it's a "almosr ready to fly" but i do love the blue and yellow of it, it reallys makes it looks very nice. Thanks
One of my all time favorites, I wish Ripmax would reintroduce this wonderful ARF. Mine used a brushed 550 motor and gear box with a 12 inch prop, and back then we used 8 cell nicads. C size , fantastic fun plane.
Thank you, But yours must of been different to this one? You would never get a 550 motor in this & 8 cell ni-cad, It would be like putting a brick in it, It would never get off the ground,lol
@Darren-RC-videos Yes, mine was a little different it was an earlier model it had purple film body and yellow wings, and the wing span was 72 inches in length , very similar design but larger. I noticed yours was designed for an outrunner, which I think was introduced much later than mine. Overall, it's a wonderful plane.
Hi Darren, nice plane a bit light so watch out with more wind! what I was wondering? I don't see a prop saver am I writing it right? (propsaver) I would put it on if I were you. Healthy and Friendly greetings from the Netherlands! And have fun with the hobby. Rob
Hello, This plane is not new to me, I've owned it for almost 8 years now, I only tend to fly it on calm days but wanted to get a recording done of it. Never needed a prop saver and none available in that size anyway as it's a large 12x6 prop. Thanks and glad you like the video.
Nice model Darren, lovely evening flyer 👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes yes it's a lovely flyer.
Wonderful…I need to dig out my ancient Ripmax catalogue to check it out.
